                                                     Maximum Ride4.jpg
After Ari's death the flock goes to important meetings that went real bad as the flock left back to Dr. Martinez’s house . Soon after Max uses her sense of direction and amazing instincts to go to Dr.Martinez were she is waiting for them. The flock is sent on a mission to Antarctica to save the world. But they are saving the world from human beings and pollution instead of the bad guys Although they had to escape some random evil guy  who wanted to sell them .
I like the book but I thought that it was boring when the book went on about pollution and stuff . I know that's a bad thing to say but I preferred the flock to be in constant trouble because the story was more exiting and had more action. I think that they should save the world from the bad guys instead of pollution. We see pollution every day . Its boring. When you see a fight or a crash or something with drama it is very interesting!
Although my point of view is frowned upon it is true!
I still like the book and thought it was good but the other books in the Maximum ride series wore better!

Who was Dr Seuss - Janet B. Pascal

This book is about Theodor Geisel . He loved to doodle from when he was a kid. He had a fun and loving personality. He often threw dinner parties where guests wore outrageous hats!This book shows how he got to be a world famous author . From being a German kid in America during the time of Hitler's ruling (Were he got bullied a lot) to going to oxford university ( He drooped out of Oxford due to his lack of seriousness). This book relay inspired me and I learnt  allot about Dr sues. Before he was a writer he was a artist and also a film director who won two Oscars.


                                              The fat cat that sat (he had no hat)

                                                     He was a cat


                                                     He was fat


                                                 and there he sat


                                          thinking about the other cats


                                          oh what bad things they said


                           were the only things that made them use there head


                                           They used there thinking caps


                                                  and called him a rat


                                            "I will not put up with that"


                                                   said the fat cat


                                                  You called me fat


                                                 You called me a rat


                                              You made me feel sad   


                                               I hope you feel glad


                                          The fat cat hated the Leader


                                              He was such as stinker


                                             He was up for the fight


                                          He was defending his right


                                      A cat is a cat no matter how fat


                            With his glaring eyes and his unmistakable pride


                           the other cats got scared and were about to cry


                             "Were sorry!" they said and with that they fled


                           The fat cat learned he should stick up for himself


                                        because no one else shell.......


                                                    By Zakea......

Maximum ride - The Angel Experiment ( Novel Refletion )

 


This book is the first book in the Maximum ride series and is set in the near future in the mind of the first person narrator of the story ;Max who is the leader of a "flock" of 98% human and 2% bird Hybrids who are on the run from the mad scientists that created them!
I relay liked this book because I think it relates to the world we live in because we cage up and experiment on animals to. This also makes me think if this is actually possible. It cant be that hard. Can it? Mix some DNA and then create it. I rate this book 5/5 as it had lots of action!
